Welcome to our newest community safety project: Citizen Observer

There is no limit to what we can accomplish if we all work together, stay alert and stay connected!

San Antonio Police Department
Alert Network

Instantaneous and proactive communication from local law
enforcement to you!
The Alert Network allows the San Antonio Police Department
to instantly update you about crimes, emergencies and other
important information.

All Alerts are delivered via e-mail and are also available via text
message on your cell phone.

Citizen Alerts inform all registered users of public safety
concerns in your area. The Alerts contain information about
crime trends, descriptions of suspects, missing persons, as
well as advice on personal safety, and how to safeguard
property.

Business Alerts are targeted to specific business types, so
your business will receive information about crimes that are
pertinent to your business type.

Case Alerts allow law enforcement to automatically
disseminate information about open cases to all registered
Citizen Observer users.

Watch Group Alerts allow law enforcement to send
targeted alerts to specific neighborhoods with information
about crimes that are happening in their immediate area.

Secure Two-Way Communication between the public and
local law enforcement
Possibly the biggest benefit of the Alert Network is the way it
makes possible two-way communication between law
enforcement and the public.

Law Enforcement can update citizens on situations that
require their attention.

As we the public learn about fugitives, missing persons
and unsolved cases, we can provide tips directly to the
agency.

Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is the most common form of modern-day slavery. Estimates place the number of its domestic and international victims in the millions, mostly females and children enslaved in the commercial sex industry for little or no money. The term human trafficking usually conjures up images of young girls beaten and abused in faraway places, like Eastern Europe, Asia, or Africa. Actually, human trafficking happens locally in cities and towns, both large and small, throughout the United States, right in citizens' backyards.
